Monday 18 February, 2013 We climbed into bed after a long day of work at just after midnight, setting the alarm on the iPhone for 03:00 using the one that screams GET UP NOW! Anyone who has been to Lima, or any South American capital city, will certainly know that traffic is a major...

I have been reading a lot of terrific Trip Reports here, all of them very entertaining and it has inspired me to attempt to do the same. I have the very fortunate position of travelling all the time for my work, mostly to huge cities. Although I am based in Sydney, I probably spend less than...

Re: Appendix 1: Booking Class with One-Way and Return Searches It was for 25/11/13, and strange I try to replicate the same search tonight so I could post a screen shot and what I found has disappeared. Instead, i get a routing through PHX instead of CLT and a big price jump (circa US$500)...

Re: Appendix 1: Booking Class with One-Way and Return Searches That was my feeling too I'm more concerned about the forward planning concept from AA/US rather than actually booking anything. Seems a bit presumptuous to me.... If anyone wants to try it out, do this run: DFW-BOS-SFO forcing...

Re: Appendix 1: Booking Class with One-Way and Return Searches An interesting situation comes up.... When looking at some bookings for November and forcing a AA+ result, there are alot of US Airways flights coming in as part of the route. I guess this is forward looking flights to the AA/US...

It depends on what you are after. Do you need *A status? A J return SYD-YYZ isn't going to do much good as points in a FFP you don't use. Up until recently, I had a good argument with myself that status in OW and *A was beneficial. I've been ACE and QF SG for several years and it worked for...

Just spent a week there early January this year. One of the very few magical places left on our earth! I could quite easily spend the rest of my days sitting on the beach with a bottle of champagne and watching the best night sky you will ever see :-)

So i reckon everyone should just calm down a notch or two and wait for the fine print.....

Watching, reading all of this from afar in Brasil. A little bit of me just died in the last few days. I have no side to take because I am far removed from Australia these days. BUT What has happened makes me very sad to be an Australian. What I see is an icon that is internationally...

This is what I do, very simple to set up and have never had a problem with it. Some others in our touring party took out the hotel's internet in Korea a few times by using the airport express. It gets around that multiple device thingy too. Internet sharing fools the connection in thinking...

Shame really. I'd really love all this to get sorted out soon because it's a bit of a deal breaker at the moment. QF and OW can get you just about most places on the planet with SC earn.... Come on VA, sort it out properly with DL and SQ and join *A so that those of us who are jack of QF/OW...

On QF 321 (LA 800) AKL-SCL. Gate Guy: Mr Cirqueboy, I need to talk to you.... As you can see, we have alot of babies on this flight and you are in 12A, a bassinet seat. I can offer you an emergency exit row, window seat with no one next to you. Me: Sure, no problem. Gate Guy: Thanks...

Out of action in Adelaide tonight. Half an hour of looping through the login page and three pinots later..............

I sincerely hope that the pilot at the controls of an A380 IS getting 400K pa. I'm pretty sure that passengers of QF32 last year would think the same.

CX is my choice. I maintain SG with QF and fly CX as much as I can. The exit row seats free of charge for OW makes it a no brainer when having to fly in Y, especially on the Boeing 777, heaps of room in row 54. The service, food and wine out of a real bottle in Y is so much better than what...

My account credited today, 7 days after the flights. :)

Sat on the tarmac for 3 hours on Friday, waiting for snowstorm to pass and then de-icing. Don't plan on getting there anytime soon! Even a small amount of snow created major delays. The whole week will be a mess me thinks.

My first OpUp on Thursday. Y to Y+ on QF1 on both sectors. Hoping I'll score the same on the way back in Jan.

It depends on which state you are in, the laws are different (as is Aus). Some states allow exemptions for "onstage" smoking for historical authenticity.

Oh come on people. Stuff happens, deal with it. Busses run late sometimes, especially in Sydney when it is raining (like today). Trains run late, planes run late. All for a whole plethora of reasons. We are the traveling public who pay for a service. Sometimes, beyond the regular...
